Hi All,
After many years of installing on steep roofs (most New England
roofs are 10/12 or 12/12 pitch) with various approaches including
harnesses, pulleys, lifts, Lulls, staging, etc., we finally realized
that it is so much easier on residential installs to just erect
scaffolding for all
Hi Peter,
I don't have history with the PV Powered's but
they have a 30 KW I've heard good things about.
A couple of Solectria 15 KWs would make a nice
balance between "single inverter" and redundancy
and ease of install.
2 or 3 Fronius IGPlus 12 KWs would also be a good
solution. Power

Hey Folks,
Anyone have or know where I can get my hands on the efficiency vs.
wattage curve for the Fronius IG series (the old series - not the
Plus).
I have a 4000 in stock and wondering if I can apply it to a friend's
2660 watt system without losing much to efficiency at low power
levels.

I've been into Macs since '84 - we have 6 in the office - my 17"

Hi William and All,
Thanks to all for the offers and clarifications. I may have located
a cable locally and if not will probably make one up per William's
and Phil's instructions.
And as William and others have said - do not use anything as an SWI
cable unless you know it's an original SWI
Hi All,
I need to track down a '98 vintage Trace SW stacking cable. Anyone
have or know where I might find one?

I agree the DP&W racking is very stu
ands worldwide.
Easy to install - just need a card - make up a cable and plug into
an ethernet line or dedicated modem.
Hope that helps - hope you are staying warm up there!

Hi All,
Their website video and literature claims they don't need any
tie-downs or ballast. That I'd like to believe! Hard to imagine
that'll fly. (or more like I can imagine them flying off the roof!)

They are new and cylindrical.

Hi Bill and all,
I've been searching for an alternative to plastic wire ties for some
time as I'm not sure they are going to hold up over the system life
of 20-30+ years and it'll be an ugly site to have all those wires
drop onto the roof.
But for a flush rooftop array, an assumption to repl
Hi Folks,
We burnt up a gen set's voltage regulator on an off-grid system sunny
island/sunny boy system when we took the sunny island's off-line but
didn't shut off the sunny boy. So the SB backfed the genny and fried
the very expensive voltage regulator on a 30 KW system. SMA had us

Hey Darryl,
I agree with Jason. We've done some commercial S5 systems and we
pre-tighten with a cordless driver and then two guys follow with a
couple of manual torque wrenches - it takes but a few seconds to
turn the final 1/2 turn to the right torque - felt and confirmed by
human feel and
Hey Folks,
When I installed SS heat exchangers in wood stoves a while back, I
always made sure to have 2 PT valves in the system for redundancy in
case one stuck or underperformed. Steam explosions are simply no fun.
We'd locate one right on the woodstove outlet and another at the

Hi Carl,
Depends on what kind of microhydro output you are talking.
We have installed two systems now with a HiPower 3-phase inductive
Alt output voltage clamped and rectified straight into a SMA standard
SunnyBoy (with blessings from SMA). As long as you don't go over 600
VDC the warranty a

could follow for your system.
